Review for Can Do Canines, New Hope, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Years ago, while I was raising my 4 young children and family dogs :), I happened upon an organization that was requesting volunteer foster families for their puppies who would, after about 2 years, become military or law enforcement canines. The idea struck me as a wholly rewarding experience for both the pup and the family, and I kept the idea in the back of my mind. Years later, my own children grown and on their own and me without a furry friend, I searched for a canine organization to attach myself to. I found and researched about 4 different organizations in the area before deciding upon Can Do Canines. What really impressed me was not only the scope and experience of the organization, but especially that the clients were carefully matched with a *Free* service dog! W-O-W. The education, support, and flexibility given to all the volunteers is enormous! The amount of individual persons learning from, loving, training and benefiting from each pup/dog is sometimes hard to fathom and I often get a lump in my throat thinking about it: everyone from the whelping home, to the prison inmates and personnel, to the fostering families, and ultimately the paired client! The word 'lucky' doesn't say enough. I am so Blessed and Honored to be included in this wonderful service dog organization family! Can Do Canines: THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!
